Mood: stethoscopes on bellies.
Doctor characters warming up the diaphragm of the scope with their breath
Or characters using it on themselves because they’re into it/in a situation without medical professionals
The flesh on the patient’s belly giving just a little bit under the pressure
Or maybe their belly is so distended that it doesn’t give at all
Maybe the scope is still cold and the patient flinches a bit
The throbbing of a heartbeat offset by deep digestive gurgles and soft whines and little squelches
Or maybe there’s just disquieting, hollow silence, indicating a blockage or an infection
Doctors’ faces as they listen: nodding, concentrating, maybe concerned, maybe even rare, raw fear
Just… stethoscopes on bellies. Yes.
